    Probably because you weren't violent criminals or organized, according to the Cambridge dictionary.



    a member of an organized group of violent criminals

    Are you trying to make a point?

    Why don't you read the article that accompanies the video and maybe you'll understand the difference between these guys and you and your friends from school.

    Isn't a bit late for that? I'm not sure how anything he does can really be described as "winning" now, given how many of his loved ones have died in retaliatory attacks. It's a bit like the later stages of Breaking Bad at this stage -
    can anyone claim that Walt "won", even as he managed to get his money to his family and kill Jack's crew, seeing as they'd killed his brother in law and his entire family had been ripped apart
    ?

    I just don't see any end to this in which The Monk gets a happy ending. So many of his close relatives are now dead that it seems to me a happy ending is off the table - I can't imagine the grief he must be experiencing tbh, it beggars belief just how many of his brothers and nephews he's lost at this stage.

    Probably couldn’t give a toss in the grand scheme of things. If he cared that much all his kids would have went to private school and would be accountants and solicitors creaming it in some public service body. But they were thought the family way.

    Not as much as you obviously. Give us a press release there about it. How he worked tirelessly to get them to school.

    I guess you're not familiar with his children at all so.

    I remember reading a long time ago that all his kids went to the best of private schools, and he wanted them to have nothing to do with crime.

    I remember reading that he was called the monk because he never sold drugs

    From what I read he was called the monk because of his choice of abstaining from using alcohol or drugs.

    The video online of the shooting in Blanch was sent to me earlier claiming to be of a completely different incident in Ballymun.

    One time he got out of prison and he was off the booze and somebody called him the monk and it stuck. It lasted awhile. The media have always portrayed him as a loveable rogue that was just too smart for normal society. Most of the stuff you read is bull**** in the gossip papers.
    Why are IRA men getting killed in all of this? Sure they don’t have any dealings with Gerry or the kinehans. They just want a united ireland.

    It’s possible he doesn’t now but not all the time it’s reported that he doesn’t.

    You don’t think he’d be drinking watching Dublin win their first AI since 2005? He wasn’t, I was there!

    Wow. One time I seen him driving his limo and I didn’t smell drink off him now that you mention it. Maybe you are right.

    Maybe he was baby sitting the grand children after the match and wanted to keep an aul clear head what with him being a paragon of virtue an all.

    They do by the looks of things.
    Anyway it’s none of my business if he does or not.

    Has anybody any ideas why there seems to be one splinter ira on the side of the evil kinehan cartel Byrne axis of evil and one Ira splinter on the ordinary honest hutch side.

    Has one ira group gone rogue and gone with the cartel to get the money and the good ira have sided with the hutches to fight the good fight for the honest man?

    What is the story with all the paramilitaries being involved in this?

    It’s kind of like there was a split in the ira and each side backed a horse. If their horse wins they get protection money. I could be a mile off but nobody seems bothered.

    You have to question where on earth the Guards were for the second incident?

    House gets shot up and 3 hours later people think they'll get away with shooting up another house a stones throw away...

    I say that in the belief the first shooting was reported in time, if not then fair enough.


    I think I've said this before a few times but Gardai are mythical creatures in large areas of Dublin, also a lot of people just don't bother calling them anymore because the response time is a joke.

    The response time to and in particular a shooting,. would be minutes.
